Start at the gated entry, roll up the driveway and take in the breathtaking view of this 7-acre estate that marries luxury and entertainment like no other property. Walk through the front door and step into the two-story great room that includes a floor-to-ceiling fireplace.
An impressive chef’s kitchen includes a multitude of windows that flood the space with natural light and a picture postcard view. Two long islands provide plenty of space for cooking and entertaining guests, and the farmhouse sink and commercial appliances are what any chef needs. A butler’s pantry conceals additional appliances, adding to the clean, sleek look of the kitchen.
The main floor also features a jaw-dropping dining room dripping with elegance.
A stunning owner’s suite built with peace and relaxation in mind, from the private deck to the wet room. The spa-like bath includes heated floors, two showers and a soaker tub.
The upper level with a catwalk and loft area offers a gorgeous view of the main level. Two spacious bedrooms each have their own bathroom and walk-in closet. A second laundry area, in addition to the main level utility room, offers convenience.
The finished lower level adds two more bedrooms with their own bathroom and walk-in closet, as well as plenty of space for fun and entertainment. The striking wet bar flanked with a live-edge custom wood top includes beautiful blue and gold cabinets and accents and a second kitchen area in the main house. The flex area is big enough to accommodate a pool or billiards table or many other gaming options. Walk out the lower level to the huge patio covered by the generous deck.
Beside the main house is a matching gym that includes over 5,600 square feet of exercise and play space. Work out, perfect that swing with the golf simulator or play a pick-up game on the full-size basketball court. An area for a pitching cage is set up as a lounge or game space. A full kitchen and bar just adds to the entertaining options or functionality of this special space. A locker room/bathroom offers outside access, where you can enjoy the heated saltwater pool, relax in the hot tub or sit around the fire pit.
